It is not an either/or question.  You should be using *both*.  Greylisting 
protects you from smtp bots as they don't retry.  The messages never get 
into your system and if you are paying for a per/MB link it saves you $.

If the spam is resent then hopefully spamassissan will catch it.

It sounds as if you are using one or the other....but not both.
